    Not sure what happened, but the pro-Russia trolls seem to be out of the woods in the last few days under Ukraine news posts. They must be really desperate to even try their astroturfing on lemmy

      A lot of them are genuine useful idiots rather than astroturfing, I think. Tankies, Chomskyites, and far-right ‘isolationists’ who jerk off to Russian propaganda about defending White Christian Civilization™

          Yeah, Tankies, Chomskyites, and far-right ‘isolations’ are people with different opinions than me. That’s the point of me labeling them useful idiots instead of astroturfing.

          I believe their views are genuine.

          I just also believe that their views are easily manipulated dogshit that serves fascists at home and abroad.
